Fodor's Review:

This is the site of San Francisco's first wood-fire pizza oven, installed in the 1930s when the restaurant opened. The oven is still here, and the restaurant, with its coat hooks, boothlike dining nooks, and communal table running the length of the basement dining room, has changed little since those early days. The pizzas' delightfully chewy crusts, creamy mozzarella, and full-bodied house-made sauce—for sale in jars, too—have kept legions of happy eaters returning for decades. Pair one of the hearty pies with a salad of grilled sweet peppers or of broccoli dressed in lemon juice and olive oil and a bottle of the house wine.

When I lved in San Francisco in the 70's Their sign read "Only wood burning pizza oven on the West Coast" and "same chinese chef for 35 years".Things have changed but their pies haven't. These thin crusted beauties set the standard that gourmet pizzerias aspire to achieve.
